About our film set catering in Stanton Harcourt
The van needs level, firm ground at the unit base, and a route the van can manage. Typical bookings include unit base lunches and photo shoots, with cod and chips, sausage and chips and pie and chips.
Rural locations near Stanton Harcourt can be a long way from food, so lunch at base matters. The fryers are in the van, so the cooking happens right there at your shoot, so the batter is still crisp when it is handed over.
